Week #52

ear Everyone,

Well, it is crazy to think that I will have been in Thailand for a year in a few days. Talk about time flying!

Monday: Well, it was a pretty good Monday. We had a good time just relaxing for a few hours. It really is very comfortable her in Sisaket. We taught one lesson with the 12 year old. We read the scriptures with him and are helping build his faith more. It is only a matter of time until he is baptised, but perhaps after I have left.

Tuesday: Now this was a busy day! We taught 6 lessons and got 2 new investigators as well as contacting a few referrals. It was way crazy, considering we also had English to teach. It was a very fun day. I can not tell you how much easier it is when members give referrals to missionaries. It make teaching a huge difference and saves a lot of time.

Wednesday: A little slower of a day, but not much. We taught 3 more lessons, one including a referral from a return missionary here. It turned out to be a very good lesson. It also rained crazy hard for like an hour. That was fun being stuck and not being able to do anything...

Thursday: Wow, more lessons. Only one new investigator. I feel so blessed by the Lord for all these opportunities to teach and help His children along the path to salvation. One of our investigators is getting baptised on the 7th of May. It is way exciting. I feel that she has truly been prepared by the Lord for baptism.

Friday: Ugh, no work got done. We had to go to Ubon for several hours for a training meeting from the Assistants. It was good. We got back in time for some dinner and then our Coordination meeting with the members. Then it rained again and we got stuck at the church until we had to go home.

Saturday: Only a couple of lessons. We taught the woman being baptised on the 7th and taught another man during the morning. They were good lessons. That was all that happened during the day.

Sunday: This was a scary day. Only half the members were present and then the second half came ten minutes after the meeting had started. Pretty scary. Considering the branch is only 75 members big that come regularly. We had 3 of our investigators come to church. Taught a few lessons after all the meetings were done. Oh and for dinner I got to eat dog again :) Some members went up to Sakon Nakon and I asked for them to buy me some meat. We had it for dinner. It was also Elder Grover's first time eating. It was delicious :)

Well that is all for this week! I love you all!
